Preparing for Convention
Today marks my first embarkment to the state convention at Seven Springs. I am very excited but at the same time very nervous. I believe these are the things to make sure I have: enough food, clothes, blankets and water. I will also be renting an Ipad so I can take notes without looking like I am texting the entire time. I believe the biggest thing to take to convention is an open mind and a go getter attitude. By go getter I mean go out of your comfort zone, meet new people, and network!

That go getter attitude is what will take you places in life. Always be ready for what ahead of you and reflect on your past so you can become the best person and professional you can be.
ReplyDeleteHaving a go getter attitude is definitely one key component to opening doors and windows for yourself. Staying back and observing is not a bad thing at times, but those who go out there and make a name for themselves will be the ones remembered the most when it counts. Taking the iPad with you so that it did not appear that you were texting was a smart idea. I also think having the iPad could help if you wanted to take a video of something or use a certain app for a demonstration. It sounds like you were prepared for convention in the best way you could be, Kevin.
ReplyDeleteYou definitely have to have an open mind about the conventions, you can't go there thinking about one specific thing. Go to conventions with a mind set of whatever you are told you will make the most of it, whatever you learn you will keep with you for the future. Going out of your comfort zone is the best thing to do, living in your comfort zone is saying that you have accepted a level even though you know you can go a lot further.
